IARC Press release - Look for many more to come. One thing to take notice for those following IARC, look at how it is IARC's Patented Mataphoria that was selected to Augment the work VIGN had already done. First, IARC could have done it all, however this was VIGN's customer....VIGN does not have anything close to Metaphoria, and that is why they called IARC. Those that dont really know anything about this particular technology, are probably in the dark, but plain and simple, XML is the next step for internet technology. IARC happens to have patents on some pretty wicked stuff......stuff, many other's wish they could get their hands on. There have been lots of rumors that IARC is ripe for a nice buyout because of the technology they possess. Personally, it makes sense, but to me a rumor is $hit until it becomes fact. What I do know is that the metaphoria technology is something special, and that alone, regardles of buyouts, should make IARC a very large player.
Earnings came out on the 2nd, and they blew away the estimates. Granted revenue was low, but it was expected to be alot lower, as this is essentially a start up. Now, they are signing alot of contracts, and some with some big names with large numbers involved. Qrtly revenue for the next few qrts should literally explode.
For the short term, I have no idea what this stock will do...it has gone from .68 to $28, down to $4.90 a few weeks ago during the crash, back up to $11 - $13. It could drop back to $5 for all I know, or could shoot to $30, I have no idea....Long term however, mark my words, IARC has a tremendous shot at being a big winner. So whether we are at $5 or $30 in a month, I really dont care. Yall keep an eye on this stock and watch what it does as the technology is embraced.
